Hi everyone

I'm Ashutosh, a Principal Engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable software systems and leading engineering teams.

Currently, I'm working on large-scale educational platforms and pursuing an M.Tech in AI & Data Science from IIT Patna.

Over the years, I've worked across backend engineering, system design, cloud architecture, and more recently AI-powered applications.

I'm joining DEV to:

• Share practical system design lessons
• Write about AI and software engineering
• Discuss engineering leadership and architecture decisions
• Document my journey of building products from scratch

One thing I've learned after 9 years in engineering:

Building software is only half the challenge. Understanding users and solving the right problems is often the harder part.

Looking forward to learning from the community and contributing wherever I can.

What's one engineering topic you'd like to see covered more often?
